PSP Smashes Sales Records in the UK

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the gaming-is-here-to-stay dept.

404Ender writes "According to recent numbers the PSP has sold more than 185,000 units since launching September 1. This blows the previous record away, which happened to be set by the Nintendo DS. This is wonderful news for fans of the Sony handheld, and it certainly quiets many of the naysayers who have been pointing to the success of the DS sales compared to the PSP. Does this solidify Sony's position in the handheld market with a firm foot in the door?"

    I have both the PSP and the DS. The only good game for either playform is Super Mario 64 DS. Go figure.

    It is ok to quote the law but to understand it is something else. As was posted before there are acceptable levels for the number and type of dead pixels. It is dependant on resolution and not size of screen. If the screen is class 1 you are not allowed any. ( I have never seen a class 1 screen) Class 2 (most that are sold) have complicated limits on dead pixels. Always on or always off is worse than one of the colors not working etc.. if they are clustered or not also makes a difference. From what I remember for a 1024 x 768 you are not allowed 2 always on 2 awlways off. Or 4 with color failure. For a smaller screen it would be less. Therefore I would GUESS that the limit is 1 for each case on a PSP. Maybe someone in the know would know.

    There is a simple explanation here
